LR3 Won't Open Images in CS5!

Hello!
I've been running both LR3 and CS5 for months and months, and now suddenly, when I go to "Edit in Photoshop CS5..." an image, it won't open in CS5! It always worked great before. Now, instead, CS5 does nothing, or throws up an open dialogue box of its own. What gives? And, sometimes, after trying to open images to edit them in CS5, I'll notice that CS5 now has, in its "Open Recent..." drop down menu under the File menu, some strange file names with an .ini suffix, or long strings of letters and numbers that mean nothing to me. I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 Help! This is very strange!
Tom

My issue is resolved! I simply updated LR from 3.4 to 3.5, and also updated to the latest CS5, and everything is working fine now. My problem does have one similarity to yours, though: I recently added an external hard drive, where my LR catalogs and images are now being stored. I don't know if adding the external hard drive caused LR3 (or CS5) to somehow lose track of where the image was that needed to be opened!
Anyway, all is working fine now, and I'm a happy camper.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.

CS 5 won't open images from Lightroom 3

Hi,
I just upgraded to CS5 from CS3, and I've been using Lightroom 3 since it came out. The installation went fine. After working on some images in Lightroom 3.3, I tried to open them in CS5 12.02, and strange things started to happen. Some times the images open, some times they don't. This applies to NEFs, TIFFs, and PSDs. Sometimes when I try to open an image from my Lightroom catalog, CS5 mysteriously opens small jpegs of photos that are not even in my catalog. In fact, they are images I don't even recognize and did not even know were on my computer.
I called Adobe Customer Support. They were helpful, and they had me set CS5 as my external editor as well as being the primary editor. They also helped me reset my preferences for both Lightroom and CS5. This seemed to work, but when I opened Lightroom and CS5 the next day, the problem started happening again, even when I open images in CS5 using the second external editor.
I spent over and hour on the phone with Customer Support the first time, and I'm trying to get help elsewhere before I call again.
I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8 with 4 GB of RAM.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Another expirience is, when I try to open directly from Photoshop any other image, Photoshop ignores the XMP and opens the original file without any modification.
That's normal if the raw files were originally edited in Lightroom. Lightroom stores all edits in the catalog, not the xmp sidecar. You can set Lightroom to write to xmp as well, but that slows it down a little and so it's off by default. The Lightroom shortcut ctrl/cmd+S will also save to xmp.
I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
That's related to the above, and also normal if you go the other way - edit in ACR and then move to Lightroom. It'll then be in xmp, but not the Lightroom catalog.
As for the missing on-screen image, that's a common video driver bug (although I suppose other causes are possible). For Windows you can download updated drivers directly from the manufacturer's website, but that's not possible with Mac. You'll have to wait for Apple to fix it.

Cannot open image in CS5?

I am a Newbie to PS, Running PS 5 on Windows 7, I'm trying to bring up PS using the edit in command in Lightroom, PS does comes up and the photo number comes up in the document tab, I see all the layers but the image is not visible. If I shut down PS and restart and the select open recent, the samee thing happens, Thanks for any assistance

Thanks Neil, I did download the latest video driver and everything seems to work fine. I do have to reload the driver of my NEC monitor. Thanks again. Lee Smith

Sounds like one of many manifestations of a display driver bug... If going into Edit - Preferences - Performance, disabling OpenGL Drawing, then closing and restarting Photoshop changes the behavior, then you should visit the web site of the maker of your video card, download/install the latest display driver that matches your hardware and OS, re-enable OpenGL Drawing (making sure to restart Photoshop), and test again. Display driver updates fix many problems. -Noel

Image in Bridge won't open in Photoshop CS5

When I right click on an image in Bridge and select Open it won't open in Photoshop like it used to. Why? What can I do?

I was posting incorrectly. I have no further comments.

Bridge won't open images

When I double click an image in Bridge, the image won't open in Photoshop. That's only one of numerous problems I am having with the Bridge that came out with PS CS3, but this has just occurred in the last day. I restarted the computer, but that doesn't work. Any suggestions?

AFAIK, you need to open Bridge, use cmd K to access Prefs, and make sure the box that enables that double click action is checked. hth, kl

Bridge CS4 won't open to Photoshop CS5 out of Camera Raw?

I use Bridge CS4 because I prefer it to bridge CS5 but when I edit images in ACR in bridge cs4 and click 'Open Image' I want it to open automatically in PS CS5 and instead it opens always into PS CS4. In preferences>file type associations, everything is set to CS5 so I don't know how to direct opening images from ACR to open in photoshop CS5 not CS4. I've had it working on a different system but I don't remember what I did to get it to work.

Uh huh...and why would you expect CS5 to open the image from Bridge CS4? You haven't stated why you are trying to use Bridge CS4, but as you've found out, that is not an optimal solution....(BTW, troubleshooting 101 dictates that you at least mention what platform and OS you are using).

LR4 won't open images in CS6

I cannot get LR4 to open images in CS6 using "Edit in". LR opens CS6 with no problem but no image appears. I have tried everything I know - uninstalled both, reinstalled both, cleared out registry, checked I have latest upgrades and both using same ACR (7.2) etc but it still won't work. Using Windows 7 by the way.

This question comes up at least once a day - have you searched?

Open images in CS5

I just re installed my applications and find that when I click on a jpeg it opens in Preview rather then Photoshop.
I wasn't this way before re installing my applications.
How can I change it so that when I double click on a jpeg it opens in photoshop.
thank you.

The following might work. I have'nt tried it as I download my images into View NX2 that are then pointed by (clicking) default to CS5
However, if you open Finder
OPen Image/Pictures Folder
Right Click on Image
Select Open With
Select Other
Then select the application which you want to open the image in ie photoshop
Tick Always Open With
Somewhere there is a default option that will alllow all your images to open in whatever application you wish.
Hope this helps

CS6 won't open images

I can't get images to open in CS6. Get the following message. "Adboe Photoshop CS6 stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working." Reistalled several times. This error also happens with Elments 10. Installed older verson of Elements 7 and this works fine. HP ENVY 64 bit, plenty of ram, gigs etc. Spent several hour with HP support, checking system, no virus's etc. Can open images in Bridges...Camera Raw

I'm just suggesting that I have to look at all here...that's all. I' m looking for help, trying to resolve an issue has not been changed on my part since I install CS6 7 month ago along with NIK, no updates, no nothing. You guys got plug - in on CS6 to run third party software, that's why it's there...Correct? Somewhere, other than yourself, someone at Adobe must have come across these issues with plug-ins and have some sort of guidance. I read all the issues with CS6 and they are not all related to third party software. So don't come like to me like Adobe doesn't have issues with a $675.00 program and you all "walks on water." It always the "others guys fault. I expect support. for Adobe, NIK, Epson and all the other folks That I buy from I'm a photographer, not a software expert. Expect Adobe to help resolve an issue, not blame others....Hope I', clear on this. One way or the other I'll get this resolved with or without Adobe's help.
And if I do run another plug in and it doesn't work then for sure I would expect Adobe to replace the CS6

CS3 Suddenly Won't Open Images

I've been using CS3 forever with few problems. All of the sudden, today it quit opening images. The program loads and opens without any problem, but I can't open any images. I have rebooted about 5 times and disconnected all plug-in equipment (ipod, printer, etc.) Can anyone tell me how to fix this??
I found a thread on this topic in the Mac forum, but it hasn't helped me. The problem there seemed to be images on a disk, but the images I'm trying to open are on my harddrive. VERY FRUSTRATING! Thanks in advance for any help!!

hit file> open. then hit ESC. then try to open again.

Camera Raw images from my Canon 6d won't open in PS CS5. Can anyone help?

I just purchased a Canon 6d and the raw files don't show up as thumbnails and they don't open up. I've tried updating my Camera Raw in Bridge. It looks like the 7.1 update for Camera Raw isn't supported by PS CS5. What can I do?
Carolyn.V

Camera Raw version 7.x only works with CS6.
You need Camera Raw 7.3 (CS6) or DNG Converter 7.3 or Lightroom 4.3 to open your 6D raw files, because it did not exist before these versions. Camera Raw updates are not usually provided for old versions of Adobe software.
Propriety raw format support can only be added after a new camera's release, unless manufacturers broadly adopt the DNG format as an alternative. Fortunately, DNG Converter is free, and you can use this to create DNG files from your Canon's raw files, to be opened in any version of CS/Lr.

PS won't open image from Bridge

If I double click on any psd file or select "Open with Adobe Photoshop CS5" in Bridge, it will start up Photoshop but it just sits there without opening the file.
I've checked the file associations and everything looks good. It seems to know that it needs to open Photoshop but Photoshop doesn't seem to know to open the file. Running OSX 10.6.4 on a MacPro with 6GB RAM, PS Ver. 12.0.1.
Any help will be appreciated.

Further clarification on this problem:
Double-clicking on a *.psd filename in Finder starts up Photoshop CS5 but does not open the file.
I have ensured that all *.psd files are opened with "Adobe Photoshop CS5.app" in the Mac Spotlight utility.
Not sure if this is related but Photoshop does not display any Preview images for *.psd files in it's Open->File dialog. Bridge, on the other hand, does.
So, the problem does not appear to be with Bridge. It seems to be something related to Photoshop itself or some other configuration issue?

Help with LR3: Won't open files in CS4 anymore, no changes have been made

I've searched and read that this has been a problem. Can someone walk me through how to fix it please? LR3 and CS4 haven't been changed, or even used for the last week. It was fine, now today it doesn't work at all. I try to edit in CS4, CS4 opens, but the image never appears. I've tried rebooting, but don't understand what preference files I'm supposed to delete. Any suggestions?

Lightroom uses the equivalent of ACR 6.5 for processing while PS CS4 can only use ACR version 5.x I believe you have the latest one. Therefore some of the adjustments you may have made in LR cannot be read by ACR 5.7. do not have PS CS 4 so I cannot check why it is not working when you select open anyway. Have you recently updated LR.
